Well, according to car leasing firm Alphabet, most people think writer, broadcaster, actor, comedian and uber-tweeter Stephen Fry would make the ideal car companion. Fry (I'm sure he would be pleased to learn) 'easily' beat X-Factor judge and WAG Cheryl Cole and Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson in a new poll.
Alphabet asked 1,000 adults who there ideal travel buddy would be. For some reason, Yours Truly does not feature in the results.
Other popular commuting companions include:
- David Beckham
- Cliff Richard
- Johnny Depp
- Simon Cowell
- George Clooney
- Peter Andre (eh?)
However, the two least likely Britons to be offered a ride in a car-sharing scheme are Gordon Brown and Katie Price. Poor old GB, just when he thought it couldn't get any worse, he's left on the kerbside with she-chav Jordan while his lift disappears into the distance.
